SoftBank exit and AI redeployment as Nvidia demand outpaces risks

SoftBank Group has exited its entire position in Nvidia by selling approximately 32.1 million shares, raising $5.83 billion in one of the largest U.S. corporate disposals. The capital from this transaction is being redirected to SoftBank’s artificial intelligence efforts, with significant plans involving OpenAI and Oracle. Meanwhile, Nvidia remains central to the AI boom due to strong revenue and GPU demand, outpacing previous guidance and improving order backlog transparency. The company is also closely monitoring potential risks in China and the data center sector.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Nvidia trading at stretched price levels well above key moving averages. He notes that SoftBank's complete exit signals significant institutional rotation and a potential red flag for sustained upside, despite current AI enthusiasm. Technical momentum is strong, but rapid gains have pushed short-term oscillators into overbought territory, raising the risk of near-term pullback or consolidation. Kharitonov cautions that order backlogs and bullish sentiment may mask heightened volatility and downside risk, especially if weakness develops near $194.50. In his words: "Traders should exercise caution and tighten stops, as crowded bullish trades rarely hold up after such accelerated advances."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Nvidia's dominant position in the AI-driven rally and strong financial health. He points out that SoftBank's share sale reflects capital shifts toward AI expansion, yet broad demand for Nvidia’s GPUs remains a powerful growth engine. Karapetjanc emphasizes that the bullish structure remains intact with price action holding near highs, suggesting robust investor confidence. He expects further growth opportunities if the $200 resistance is cleared. He affirms: "With positive demand dynamics and improving fundamentals, I believe Nvidia continues to offer attractive setups for medium-term investors."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that sentiment stays upbeat following the recent gap up and strong 5.74% daily gain. He observes persistent momentum as NVDA challenges resistance at $200, though short-term signals hint at potential consolidation ahead. Turakhiya sees active traders watching for quick reversals near support and breakout setups above the current range. He adds: "Right now, price action offers agile opportunities both for breakout buyers and short-term fade traders as volatility surges."

Gains approach session highs as momentum signals caution for consolidation

Momentum is strong, with both the MACD and ADX pointing to bullish conditions on the daily chart. RSI signals a healthy trend without overbought extremes, but the Stoch RSI and BBP warn of short-term overbought conditions, while the CCI stays neutral. Bullish intraday momentum is highlighted by the high BBP value, and today’s gain of $10.81 (up 5.74%) follows a gap up between sessions, with the price now near the top of the day’s $193.79–$199.93 range. Volatility is high, and the stock shows persistent strength toward session highs, with short-term oscillators suggesting possible near-term consolidation after the rapid advance. Last time we reported that investor focus is now on upcoming earnings and continued AI-driven growth. Additionally, it was noted that Wall Street sentiment toward AI valuations shifted last week, which triggered a broader market reassessment for sector leaders like Nvidia.
